2009-04-02
Equinix's financial customers gain access to specialist low latency network
2 April 2009 Geneva, SWITZERLAND – March X, 2009 – Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq:
EQIX), a provider of global data centre services, has announced that Atrium
Network, a provider of smarter connectivity for the financial community, has
expanded operations to the Equinix GV1 International Business Exchange (IBX)
data centre located in Geneva, Switzerland. Atrium Network's new point of
presence (POP) will provide financial customers operating in Equinix's GV1
centre with access to Atrium Network's low latency connectivity solutions. It
will also provide Atrium Network with proximity to Geneva's influential
financial centre which will enable its customers to seamlessly expand their
trading operations.
Situated in the heart of the city, the Equinix GV1 IBX data centre is a
carrier-neutral facility, offering Geneva's banking and financial organisations
access to an unrivalled choice of telecom operator and internet access provider
networks. The deal with Atrium Network further extends this choice. In addition
to offering high-performance, low latency connectivity, the Equinix centre also
offers a full range of co-location, interconnection, support and monitoring
services.
"Equinix's Geneva data centre houses a critical mass of financial services
firms, and they all require highly resilient connectivity services to facilitate
their business operations. Our strategy is to provide them with access to the
widest possible choice of networks," said Petrina Steele, vice president,
business development, Equinix Europe. "Atrium Network is an important addition
to our portfolio as it gives our Geneva clients access to even more liquidity
pools, all through a single point of connectivity."
Since launching in 2006, Atrium Network's strategy has been to extend its
connectivity footprint. In addition to its new deployment in Geneva, the company
has POPs in Equinix IBX centres in London and Frankfurt, both of which have
large Equinix Financial eXchange communities of financial market participants.
Atrium also operates POPs in Paris, Lisbon, Madrid, Brussels, New York, Chicago
and São Paulo.
Commenting on the opening, Emmanuel Carjat, Chief Executive of Atrium Network
said, "The opening of our Geneva POP at Equinix is another step in Atrium
Network's strategic development and adds to our European footprint with a goal
of providing clients single point, low latency access to the principal
exchanges, ECNs and MTFs. Our partnership with Equinix allows its GV1 financial
customers to reach venues all across Europe and North and South America. This,
coupled with 'Exchange Ring', our ultra low latency connectivity to multiple
trading venues, allows us to help clients mitigate the risk of any unnecessary
co-location investment and ensure lowest possible latency access to all
available trading venues.
